Dean's Blue Hole is one of the deepest known blue holes in the world, a sheltered circular pit in a quiet bay on Long Island in the Bahamas. Its calm water and great depth make it a world centre of competitive freediving and the site of the Vertical Blue event.
In season: Apr–Jul · Peak: May
Warm, calm water, a small shallow lagoon beside a sudden deep drop, and training platforms during the season. The island is remote and quiet.
Fly to Long Island via Nassau and join a training camp or course based at Dean's Blue Hole. Time a visit with the Vertical Blue competition to watch the world's best.
